Sorry, I kind of have to work full time and study for my license, so I really don't have much time checking the baka-website other than to see if there is an update for Campione or something. Especially given how rare there is a update in the Seirei's thread in the forum, I gave up reading it more than two weeks ago.

If you really have a problem with my translations, you can change it, delete it whatever, that is why the whole thing is a wiki. I just finished reading the remaining 4 books and...I need a break.

You seem to be getting a little defensive. I'm practically not home for 5 days a week, and only allowed to use my phone for Internet for like 20mins a night or no time at all. And my weekend is practically gone this week.
But that's not the point, I'm only checking with you about your source, because phrases missing or lines missing or completely different terms are simply not translation differences.

I'm working on it but slowly, the inaccuracies are just inaccurate, it's more than style differences. I'm practically retranslating over his work and I don't particularly like that, so I'm trying to check with these inaccuracies.

Apart from the level of translation, even the source is important. So nothing wrong in the said above

The carved spirit seal on his hand is very good. I liked it. Wonder what would be Restia's... something in dark n black

There is a difference between being defensive and being annoyed. I am pretty sure I am not translating the whole thing into fan-fiction levels, and I openly admit I am very bad at names. And after reading the remaining 4 volume, I realize there are a lot of spot where I could have done a better job, especially now I realize some words actually carried a different meaning after re-reading. In the one hour per day I devote to translation, I really didn't have the time to fix things.

But, to make you feel better, I definitely will not do another translation on this project. And you have my permission to yank anything I may have done. I would already done so but I didn't want to annoy the editors who changed the work already.

Indeed the translators do a great job and I can't thank them enough for the time and effort they put into their translations. Thanks a lot.

Back on topic, it seems that Rinslet (I think its her that has the wolf spirit) hardly gets any character development from what I've read on BT and the spoilers, is that true?

Well, some, she get into quite a few fights with Claire on pet feeding. It is mentioned in one of the chapter her wish is to free a relative (elder sister?) who is literally on ice.

And other course, a lot on the loli sister which believe Renselt is currently seeing Kamito. (Funny enough, Ellis's family assume the same thing and threatened military retaliation if Ellis's feeling is hurt.....)

Oh, one of the Volume 8 chapter is devoted to Claire and Rinselt's first meeting (at age of 9), where they found out the Estien family "forbidden books" turned out to be porn ~

Rather than keep whining and complaining over the absence of translators/translations, it's better to learn japanese/chinese, folks. I'm not being offensive here, i just feel pissed by some people that keep expecting the translators to do something while they themselves don't do anything beside reading and whining. Translators have their own lives, and BT is not a fansub. Probably Teh ping has gotten bored to remind it all the time.
